John DeweyFor most of us, karma and negative emotions obscure the ability to see our own intrinsic nature, and the nature of reality. As a result we clutch on to happiness and suffering as real, and in our unskillful and ignorant actions go on sowing the seeds of our next birth.

So everything is at risk in how we live now at this very moment: How we live now can cost us our entire future.
